I admit it, I have been slacking in the art department lately. I really want to get back into the groove though. I just have too many trips coming up and no time to sit down and think out a big project to do. All I've been doing is silly two-hour commissions for Gaia.
I bought some pens today, but the ink is hard to get out of them. I need to visit a real art store and get something better.
I'd really like to draw something for my sister for her birthday July 30, but what? But what indeed...

Wow, ICON is like, the day after tomorrow! OMG! I feel nervous for some reason. I guess it's just excitement, and I'm a little worried about getting everything I need in time, what with my step-sister and her boyfriend visiting this weekend. And their huge Malamute. Oh, my poor cats. They're all camping out in my room right now.

This is an abnormally long post for me, but I guess I just have a lot to say.

I have to admit I'm feeling jealous of Kallan right now. I was just reading his journal entry about last Monday with his family. A lot of people think I must be really happy because my parents have a lot of money and I have a cool car and a big house and stuff. What they don't realize is that there's something I'd rather have more than my big house and hot tub and car, and that's a real family. I have my parents, and that's it. The whole rest of my family lives 2,000 miles away. I come home, I go in my room. My parents come home, they go in their room. I'd say my relationship with them is friendly at best.
Just once I wish I could have my family all together, and we'd go on a picnic, and we'd play football...
